COUNTRY SUMMARY for AFRICA May 2020 FUTURE CLIMATE COUNTRY SUMMARY FOR AFRICA May 2020 Summary of FCFA work in Mozambique Future Climate for Africa (FCFA) aims to generate fundamentally new climate science focused on Africa, and to ensure that this science has an impact on human development across the continent. FCFA’s research in Mozambique was conducted in the capital city, Maputo, by the FRACTAL consortium and led by researchers from Eduardo Mondlane University. Maputo About FRACTAL FRACTAL (Future Resilience for African Cities and Lands) aimed to understand the decision context and the climate science required to contribute to climate-resilient Highlights from Maputo development in nine southern African cities (Blantyre, Durban, Cape Town, Gaborone, Harare, Johannesburg, City learning process focused on addressing issues of Lusaka, Maputo, Windhoek). The FRACTAL team aimed water supply, and water-related health risks within the to; contribute to an advanced understanding of scientific city. knowledge about climate processes, regional and local climate trends to improve understanding of southern Climate information for future water supply already Africa’s climate and work with decision-makers to integrate existed for Maputo, however the up-take and use this scientific knowledge into climate-sensitive decisions of this information was not evident in planning or at the city-regional scale (particularly decisions relating to governance. water, energy and food with a lifetime of 5 to 40 years).

City learning processes in Maputo The Embedded Researcher in Maputo In Maputo, the FRACTAL team implemented city learning The Embedded Researcher approach was adopted by processes through four FRACTAL learning labs. The FRACTAL to bridge the science-policy divide (most notably learning process proved to be much slower to initiate for climate science). An official from the city government in Maputo compared to other FRACTAL cities. Several of Maputo was appointed in a research and research factors contributed to these delays, including bureaucratic coordination role for the duration of the project. The procedures and the need for all engagements and products aim of this approach was to co-explore and co-produce to be translated into Portuguese. During the first learning knowledge, create and sustain learning opportunities to lab in March 2017, stakeholders identified challenges facing integrate climate information into cities, strengthen urban the city, prioritised research questions, and agreed upon governance networks, and sharing lessons between African cities and beyond. FRACTAL’s role in the research process. The City learning revealed that climate change information relevant to water supply was already available but was not being used by the Information distillation in City. Maputo FRACTAL identified some potential reasons why climate information was not being used by Maputo Municipality To provide Maputo with three plausible climate futures, (and other relevant stakeholders) for planning including; FRACTAL developed Climate Risk Narratives (CRN) for the information existed in institutional silos and there were Maputo. These three futures included: 1) hotter and drier, few processes to coordinate and contextualise information 2) warmer with no changes in rainfall and 3) warmer with for decision-makers and technicians. Based on feedback more extreme rainfall. Interestingly, the participants of the from representatives, it was clear that the City of Maputo labs expressed a dislike for the negative and critical framing required more coordination and information sharing across of CRNs while this framing had worked well in Lusaka and the municipality to put information into use, which the Windhoek. FRACTAL learning processes aimed to facilitate. At a water-specific dialogue, Water Risk Narratives were Subsequent learning labs in May 2018, October 2018 and developed to explore the issue in more depth and to May 2019, as well as two city dialogues in February 2018 consider entry points for climate change information, and September 2018 allowed stakeholders to explore water which proved challenging. The three horizons approach issues in the city while also establishing new interpersonal was used to unpack water issues in the (1) present day connections and networks. The city learning process in situation, (2) transition phase, and (3) future or goal Maputo was able to support the development of positive scenario. Both processes furthered understanding of water relationships in the city, and was effective in getting a range supply governance, the environmental and engineering of stakeholders to engage in solving issues around water. aspects to support a mutual understanding of the water It led to the co-production of an online tool for estimating system relevant to Maputo. Development trajectories (such risks of vector and water-borne diseases in the city, through as population growth) were identified as key constraints FRACTAL’s Small Opportunity Grants. to water supply, which is similar to lessons learned in all FRACTAL cities. Building recipitivity in Maputo The concept of receptivity was developed by FRACTAL team members through their participation in the learning labs of Maputo. The development and application of the concept was specifically intended as an alternative to seeking entry points for climate information among stakeholders participation in co-production processes. The city learning process and the appointment of an Embedded Researcher enhanced receptivity in Maputo. The Embedded Researcher played a critical role in deepening understanding and engagement between the research and decision-making communities in Maputo, thereby building the receptivity of the City to climate information.

  • Accelerating the Implementation of Commitments to African Women
    DIRECTORATE OF INFORMATION & COMMUNICATION Press Release No: /2020 Date: 18 Nov 2020 Venue: Addis ABaBa, Ethiopia Slow progress in meeting commitment to 2020 as the year of universal ratification of Maputo protocol A two-day meeting convened to evaluate the status of the ratification, domestication and implementation of the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa, commonly referred to as the Maputo Protocol on Women’s Rights, has concluded with strong recommendations on how to accelerate actions on the commitment to African women. Described as a vanguard document at the time of its adoption in 2003, the Maputo Protocol remains one of the most progressive legal instruments providing a comprehensive set of human rights for African women. It translates Africa’s commitment to invest in the development and empowerment of women and girls, who constitute the majority constituent of the population. Convened by the African Union Commission Women, Gender and Development Directorate in collaboration with and the Gender, Peace and Security Programme of the AUC Peace and Security Department and the Solidarity for African Women’s Rights the meetings held on the 17-18 November 2020 brought together African Union Experts responsible for Gender Equality and Women’s Affairs; the Pan-African Parliament; Civil Society Organizations, women’s rights organizations, women’s movements and youth organizations to evaluate the progress achieved especially at the national level, in protecting and promoting the rights of women as encapsulated in the Protocol. In deliberating on the advancement of women’s rights, the meeting noted that across the continent, a number of countries have enacted laws against sexual and gender based violence as well as harmful cultural practices while others have established dedicated national machineries to promote and protect the rights of women.

  • Central African Republic Giraffe Conservation Status Report February 2020
    Country Profile Central African Republic Giraffe Conservation Status Report February 2020 General statistics Size of country: 622,984 km² Size of protected areas / percentage protected area coverage: 13% Species and subspecies In 2016 the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) completed the first detailed assessment of the conservation status of giraffe, revealing that their numbers are in peril. This was further emphasised when the majority of the IUCN recognised subspecies where assessed in 2018 – some as Critically Endangered. While this update further confirms the real threat to one of Africa’s most charismatic megafauna, it also highlights a rather confusing aspect of giraffe conservation: how many species/subspecies of giraffe are there? The IUCN currently recognises one species (Giraffa camelopardalis) and nine subspecies of giraffe (Muller et al. 2016) historically based on outdated assessments of their morphological features and geographic ranges. The subspecies are thus divided: Angolan giraffe (G. c. angolensis), Kordofan giraffe (G. c. antiquorum), Masai giraffe (G. c. tippleskirchi), Nubian giraffe (G. c. camelopardalis), reticulated giraffe (G. c. reticulata), Rothschild’s giraffe (G. c. rothschildi), South African giraffe (G. c. giraffa), Thornicroft’s giraffe (G. c. thornicrofti) and West African giraffe (G. c. peralta). However, over the past decade GCF together with their partner Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre (BiK-F) have performed the first-ever comprehensive DNA sampling and analysis (genomic, nuclear and mitochondrial) from all major natural populations of giraffe throughout their range in Africa. As a result, an update to the traditional taxonomy now exists. This study revealed that there are four distinct species of giraffe and likely five subspecies (Fennessy et al.
